Name: Chris Duplantis
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 175
School: I attend South Terrebonne High School.
Grade: I’m a senior. I am graduating in May.
Sports: I was a starting quarterback and defensive back for our football team and a starting guard for our basketball team.
Strengths: Leadership skills, toughness, experience and ability to extend plays with his legs.
Best high school memory: We have had a lot here at South Terrebonne. Last season was magical, winning all of those games and making it so far in the playoffs. This past year, I think the way we finished the year was great, being able to beat Ellender in a close battle. There are so many things that I’m going to remember. I can’t pinpoint just one thing.
High point of 2015 season: Duplantis and the Gators offense made a huge mark against their biggest rivals last fall. South Terrebonne beat the Patriots 50-46, extending the school’s lengthy winning streak over the longtime foes. Duplantis threw a long touchdown pass in the win.
What do his coach says?
“He is a good leader. He’s played a lot of football here, and we trust him in any situation.”
